Welcome to Weekend Engineering

I have considered, for years now, whether I had anything worthy of adding to the massive stream of effluent that makes up the blogosphere. And if I did establish a blog, what sort of voice would I try to maintain? Some pretentious psuedo-wit that uses words like blogosphere and effluent? And worse yet, would I turn into one of those "wink-wink, look how clever I am with my self-referential humor" gits? Would I even find myself displaying affectations like British-isms thrown in to further my pathetic self aggrandizement?

I just don't know.

But I do know that every now and then I run across or learn something that is worthy of recording SOMEWHERE on the Internet so that the next time someone else needs to know the same trick, there is a slightly higher chance Google will show them the way. And thus I'm establishing Weekend Engineering.

I may also use this to document my own projects, if I do anything in the open world. We'll see. In the meanwhile, here's a start. Now the next interesting question is whether there will ever be a post #2!
